XDAP2 PIT FIGHT Hammers vs Boldman

Good Game so far!

And I thought it was going to be a rout!

That’s a juicy scramble, I’d have a hell of a time saying no LOL.  Love it when Germany destroys their fleet on their own turn :D

Of course, the Germans would probably be happy with seeing the british lose their air force.

Choices choices… :P

Wow I looked at the dice, definely some bad rolls.

Fortunately your conservative focus on Paris, and overwhelming odds in Yugo stopped those battles from being a disaster.  110 you did great, and 111 is really the only spot you got edged bad.

And yeah, if you’d have scrambled in 97, it would have balanced out you’d be having a field day.

I guess the question is… are the brits feeling lucky?

I call that Mech surviving, or seeing mutual annihilation of landing forces. :P Look out Gamer, a bunch of 5’s and 6’s are coming your way! :S

I noticed your Luftwaffe are staying clear of that French Cruiser.  I tried to save that pilot’s life in Rome. :)

i’m what you call “guaranteed bad dice” - remember our XDAP game where we failed a 99% shot at sinking the axis fleet in the med?  game over.

No Scramble in SZ 109

You think you had it bad?

See this G5 comment from Seth in my last game…

That Frenchie is FINALLY dead and he went out taking another guy with him. The 2 original French dudes in Normandy killed 3 infantry, 3mech, and an aa gun whilst taking 2 territories and defending in 2 other battles. Now that that mess is sorted out, Yugo is next on my list.

Elite French troops in Normandy and Yugoslavia held on to fight for FIVE rounds.

It was an epic dicing.  Seems to me you’ve turned it around before the cancer took hold!
